Her closing statement gave me a real Tennessee Williams monologue as performed by the cast of Designing Women vibe.

I don’t know anything about this movie, but the trailer reminds me of an episode of the Lore podcast called “Rope and Railing” about two men in a remote lighthouse. I was wondering if this would be based on that story, but I just looked it up and that story took place in Wales, so I guess not-- I still recommend it as…

My sister loves horror movies and is always disappointed when she’s not scared by the big new scary movie everyone’s talking about. Meanwhile I’m sitting in front of Jezebel trying not to pee my pants reading the scary story entries every year. 

I cannot understand why a candidate who is polling at virtually zero got so much time. Like, John Delaney is not going to be the Democratic candidate for president, full stop. So why are we wasting so much time on him?

The only Maryland case I know of where the divorce was granted before a full year of legal separation was where the husband had a whole lot of proof that his wife was cheating and she didn’t contest anything. They were divorced before what would have been their one year wedding anniversary!

I think I just learned right now that these are two different songs. 

And Sam Smith had to share credit with Tom Petty for Stay with Me/Won’t Back Down. 

Even the people I know in Western Maryland who love to talk shit about the rest of the state, are more likely to cheer for Pittsburgh sports teams than Baltimore, and probably voted due to “economic anxiety” in 2016 have been like “Wait a second, he can’t say that about MY state!”

I’ve stopped worrying about looking cute in a swimsuit the last few years and have embraced full coverage for comfort and sun protection. I’ve got a long sleeve zip-up rash guard that works great, and this year I started buying board shorts (and all my pieces have built-in SPF). I’m more comfortable and able to enjoy…

But then there’s a glowing profile (or whatever you call a profile that doesn’t actually interview the subject) of Leonardo DiCaprio out now that mentions in passing that he had a “no eye contact” rule on the set of the new Tarantino movie he’s in, and presents it as a fun quirk, rather than shitty diva behavior. So,…

There’s nothing douchier than a bar aggressively trying to be a dive. You know it sells PBR for like $12 a can. This place looks like the set of a Kid Rock video.

That’s the detail that stood out to me. He targeted vulnerable girls with precision.

Yeah, same. After my dad died, I threw myself into a handful of “relationships” (honestly, just a series of hookups that I read too much into) with crappy dudes because I was convinced that someone taking care of me in that way would magically fix my grief. (Spoiler alert: it did not, but it took me a semester off…

Between their farm and her animal-related activism, I assume they’ll be fine. These pigs won’t be like the “mini-pig” my idiot brother-in-law got as an impulse buy, while his wife was pregnant. When they moved and had to re-home the pig (thankfully to a farm and to people who actually had experience with pigs) less…

I love spotting him around town. Recently I drove past Atomic Books when they were starting the John Waters Star Walk during a book signing (which doesn’t really count) and passed him on the street in Station North (which does). 

The racist senators being discussed weren’t Republicans, they were old-time racist democrats. The fact that one of Biden’s senior advisors fucked up a simple fact like this is pretty telling about this whole operation.

I know it doesn’t fit the thesis of this article, which focuses on the ensemble comedy, but I think The Heat is pretty underrated. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy have great chemistry, and it’s just a nice, fun action comedy. I would personally like to see more women-led buddy movies.

This is the picture referenced in that episode of the podcast. HOLY SHIT. 

I recently heard Rumors for the first time in a decade (It was on someone’s Spotify Pride playlist, which made no sense, but most of it was filled with straight-presenting white women pop songs). It came out when I was in college and I remember it being not terrible/having danced to it at clubs, but OOF. Not great.…

I bet they change the kid’s name if someone ever tells them about the Kinsey Scale.
